I have decided to sell my 1961 FORD Galaxie Sunliner Convertible. It's a very nice Car with ZERO RUST anywhere.

The Floors are Flawless and have been protected with por-15, I just installed Thermo-tec Sound/Heat Insulation covering the complete floor. Also has Brand New carpet. The Rest of the interior is very good as you can see in the pics, Not Perfect but Very, Very Good. Keeping with the interior, It has a new glove Box, Homemade Center console to house gauges and the new radio (so the dash has not been cut for a newer radio), There is just a delete plate where the original would go. Has a full set of Stewart Warner Gauges, The Oil Pres, Amp, Vac all work. The Water Temp, Fuel Pres are not hooked up. The Auto Meter Tach just Stopped working and I haven't looked into it yet. Turn Signals,Tail,Head Lights, High Beams, Interior Lights, Gauge Lights All work. The heater is all there, water hooked up, doesn't leak but the wires are not hooked up and haven't fixed it yet. The front seatbelts are RACEQUIP 3" Lap belts, NO rear seatbelts. All the window roll up and down perfect and trim, weatherstrip, doors seals are great, doors just beautifully. Top goes up and down like it should and is in great condition.

The engine is a just rebuilt 390 with a 428 Crank making it a 410ci. There is maybe 300-350 miles on it. It has a mild cam, New Holley 4160 Carb, Pertronix coil and Ignition upgrade, New Wires, Plugs, Etc. Cast Iron Headers, Original adjustable rockers but now has hydraulic lifters, New Flywheel and New Ram Clutch. 2-10" Electric Pusher fans on thermo switch. New Starter, This engine is not even broke in yet and runs great.

The Transmission is a Borg T-10 4 speed that was just rebuilt and works like it should. I Do NOT have the Flywheel Cover and dust shield for the trans. Also has a brand new driveshaft from Carolina Driveline.

As you can see from the pics, The body is in great condition but is NOT perfect. There are some issues that need to be fixed. The driver Door looks like a Jack hit it (happened before I got the car) It's a spot about 4" long and you can see it in the pic. There are 2 spots about the size of a dime where the paint got chipped near the rear of the car/drivers side. The last area is pass side rear where it looks like someone leaned against it, kinda hard to see though. The Chrome is in great Condition, Only one piece of trim is damaged slightly and thats the pass rear quarter(2 small dings). The hood has a metal hood scoop that was there when I bought it, Nicely done and it's growing on me I have to say. The trunk is very solid, no rust but again, the previous owner put a fuel cell on the car and cut a hole in the trunk floor(about 6"x6") to refuel, Has been working with no issues though. Grille is great. Again, This Body is extremely solid, no Rust.

The wheels are new American Racing Daytona's 18" Rear, 17" Front, Tires have about 300-350 miles on them.

Front End has been completely rebuilt using MOOG ball joints, A-arm bushings, New Shocks, Poly Sway bar End Links, New Drag Link, Etc, Very Tight.

Take a look at the Pics, Please ask any questions you may have... It's not a perfect car but you can't get much cooler than this one. I start all my auctions @ $1.00 so all can get in on the action.

Also may be into trades, Trades +, 30's thru the 60's cars, Cobra Kits, 911, Let me know.

Thank you and good Luck

Autoblog joins Elon Musk and Danica Patrick in accepting ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Unless you've been living in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods for the last couple of weeks or abstain entirely from social media activities, you've probably seen someone you know dump a bucket of ice and water over their own head recently. While the origins of the so-called Ice Bucket Challenge are shrouded in a history typical of Internet memes, its effectiveness in raising money and awareness for the ALS Association has been astonishing.
Celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, sports, technology and more have generated untold millions of video views in support of the organization that is helping patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), and generated a much needed influx of cash, as well. Recent reports have some $15.6M raised in the last two weeks.
Of course, the big-hearted world of automotive celebrities has taken part in the drenching charity effort as well. Follow on below for some of the biggest names on four wheels getting iced for charity, with a smattering of your favorite Autobloggers thrown in for good measure.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
